A play of life and death, promised
in a moment of mortal threat – |
| – so began the history of the Oberammergau Passion Play in 1633. In the middle of the Thirty Years War, after months of suffering and death from the plague, the Oberammergauers swore an oath that they would perform the “Play of the Suffering, Death and Resurrection of Our Lord Jesus Christ” every ten years. At Pentecost 1634, they fulfilled their pledge for the first time on a stage they put up in the cemetery above the fresh graves of the plague victims. In the year 2020, the Community of Oberammergau will perform the Passion Play that they have preserved throughout the centuries with singular continuity, for the 42nd time. |
| All participants, from actors playing the main roles such as Jesus, Mary or Judas, to members of the choir, orchestra, firemen and ushers, must have been born in Oberammergau or lived there for at least 20 years. In 2010, over 2000 participants brought the story of Jesus of Nazareth to the ears and eyes of the audience in a five-hour presentation on the imposing open-air stage. Almost half of the inhabitants of Oberammergau enacted with great devotion the story of Jesus, whose message gives billions of people hope and strength. Join Mayflower Cruises & Tours to experience this once-in-a-lifetime performance of the Oberammergau Passion Play in 2020. |
